COUNCIL  PASSES  DANCE 
HALL  ORDINANCE  OVER 
VETO;  VOTE  IS  21  TO  7 


“It  Is  the  Parting  of  the 
Ways -Between  Marx  and 
Me,”  Asserts  Alderman 
John  C.  Lodge.

NOT  CONVINCED 
BY  EXPLANATION 


Declares  Executive  Must 
Advance  .  Better  Reasons 
or  He  Is  Through  With 
Him;  Chadsey  Angered. 

“If  the  mayor’s  real  reasons  for 
vetoing  the  dance  hall  ordinance 
will  not  bear  close  analysis,  I  will 
be  out  to  do  everything  I  can  to 
^/]  wallop  him  from  now  on,”  de- 


—  dared  James  Couzens,  appointed 
street  railway  commissioner  by 
Mayor  Marx,  and  one  of  the  strong¬ 
est  supporters  the  mayor  had  in 
his  fight  with  the  street  railway 
company. 

JU  "I  spent  most  of  the  afternoon 
I  [talking  to  the  mayor  and  others 
ijUpon  this  subject  and  I  am  willing 
I  to  give  the  mayor  an  opportunity 
to  explain  why  he  has  vetoed  the 
ordinance  before  taking  a  stand 
against  him. 

“The  German  societies,  the  Fed¬ 
eration  of  Labor  and  other  organiza¬ 
tions  have  brought  a  great  deal  of 
pressure  to  bear  upon  the  mayor  and 
have  a  right  to  be  heard,  in  my 
opinion.  They  were  heard  before 
the  committee  and  the  committee 
decided  in  favor  of  them,  but  the 
council  voted  down  the  committee 
report. 

“Difficult  to  Draw  Line.’’ 

"If  as  the  mayor  explains,  the 
changes  he  desires  would  merely 
operate  to  except  tne  German  so¬ 
cieties  and  similar  organizations- 
from  the  operation  of  the  law  there 
seems  to  be  no  harm  in  it,  but  it 
would  be  rather  difficult  to  draw 
the  line  in  favor  of  some  organiza¬ 
tions  and  keep  out  the  thousands  of 
other  organizations  that  would 
spring  up  over  night,  it  there 
seemed  to  be  a  chance  of  evading 
the  ■  law.

"It’s  too  bad  the  council  cannot  impeach 
the  mayor,”  said  Mr.  Lodge.  "But  the 
people  will  attend  to  that.  I  am  through 
with  Marx  for  good.”
